Barzal logged two assists, including one on the power play, in Monday's 4-3 win over the Canucks.

Barzal has gone six games without a goal but has still put up five assists in that span. The 28-year-old hasn't had a multi-game point drought since late December, providing steady offense in a top-line role. He's up to 11 goals, 29 helpers, 11 power-play points, 106 shots on net, 41 PIM, 31 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating over 48 contests.

Pulock scored a goal on two shots, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Monday's 4-3 win over the Canucks.

Pulock tallied at 15:58 of the second period to give the Islanders their first lead of the game. The defenseman has a goal and four points through nine outings in January while continuing to play in a top-four role. Overall, he's at two goals, 21 points, 61 shots on net, 92 blocked shots, 34 hits and a plus-9 rating through 49 appearances. Pulock is on track to reach the 30-point mark for the first time since 2019-20.

Gridin logged an assist in Monday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Devils.

This was Gridin's first point in two games since he was recalled from AHL Calgary. The 19-year-old dominated with 28 points in 32 appearances for the Wranglers. He'll now get a second chance to stick with the big club after starting 2025-26 with the Flames and earning a goal over four outings. Gridin is likely to see middle-six usage during this stint in the NHL.

Mikheyev notched an assist and went plus-2 in Monday's 2-0 win over the Jets.

Mikheyev ended a five-game point drought, a span that included one absence due to an illness. The 31-year-old winger saw 20:26 of ice time Monday to help cover the absences of Andre Burakovsky (illness/personal) and Teuvo Teravainen (upper body). Mikheyev has eight goals, 15 points, 71 shots on net and a minus-3 rating over 44 appearances while filling a versatile middle-six role for the Blackhawks.

Robertson scored a goal and added two hits in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Wild.

Robertson's tally came in the third period, cutting the Wild's lead to 5-2, but the Maple Leafs didn't make a rally out of it. The 24-year-old winger has done fine in January with five points and 11 shots on net over nine outings, mainly in a third-line role. He's at 11 goals, 24 points, 76 shots on net, 51 hits, 23 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 46 appearances.

Hildeby stopped all eight shots he faced in relief of Joseph Woll in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Wild.

Hildeby played the third period, and the Wild's lone tally in that frame was a Marcus Foligno empty-netter. The 24-year-old Hildeby remains at 5-6-4 with a 2.90 GAA and a .910 save percentage over 19 outings. His time with the big club could be nearing a close, as Anthony Stolarz (upper body) started a conditioning stint with AHL Toronto on Tuesday. Once Stolarz is healthy, Hildeby is likely to return to the minor-league team.

Faber logged two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-4 rating in Monday's 6-3 win over the Maple Leafs.

Faber had gone two contests without a point after a five-game point streak. The 23-year-old defenseman continues to impress on the top pairing alongside Quinn Hughes, which has been beneficial for both blueliners. Faber is now at 30 points in 50 outings, surpassing his 78-game regular-season total from 2024-25. He's added 109 shots on net, 108 blocked shots and a plus-15 rating this season.

Hartman scored a goal on four shots and added a power-play assist in Monday's 6-3 win over the Maple Leafs.

Hartman's surge has seen him accumulate five goals and two assists over his last seven games. He earned both points over the first 10:29 of Monday's contest. Hartman has 14 goals, 23 points (six on the power play), 93 shots on net, 39 hits, 55 blocked shots, 21 PIM and a minus-2 rating through 46 appearances. He continues to fill a top-six role while the Wild are missing their entire second line due to injuries.

Kolyachonok was placed on waivers Tuesday for the purpose of him assigning him to AHL Providence, Belle Fraser of the Bruins' official site reports.

Since being claimed off waivers by Boston from Dallas on Dec. 16, Kolyachonok hasn't earned a point in two games while posting two shots on goal and three blocked shots. He picked up one goal, two assists, 10 shots on net and 10 blocked shots across 11 appearances with Dallas this season before heading to the Bruins.

Luostarinen scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Sharks.

Luostarinen ended a 10-game goal drought with the Panthers' lone tally in this loss. During that stretch, he had three assists and 13 shots on net. Luostarinen remains in a top-line role for now, though his lack of recent offense could put him at risk of losing minutes now that Matthew Tkachuk has returned from a groin injury. Luostarinen is at five goals, 20 points, 64 shots on net, 83 hits, 32 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 40 appearances.
